—Cover the work-area in with paper towel, as this process can get dusty

—Put about one hundred of the 00-size capsules into a large ceramic bowl

—Sift the powdered herbs into another large ceramic bowl, to separate the fine from coarse particles. Toss out any coarse particles that did not powder well

—Once the finely powdered herb is in the bowl, you can either make the capsules right in that bowl or pour the powder into a large plastic baggie. Some find working in a plastic baggie keeps the herb-dust to a minimum

—Open the 00-size capsules and fill the larger half with powder then close the 2 halves

—Put the filled capsule into a large ceramic bowl

—Store the filled capsules in a larger glass container with a lid, or in a large baggie

—Do not store the caps in the refrigerator; keep the container on a dry and dark (no sunlight) shelf

—The capsules can be stored for a fairly long period of time and remain useable.
